Summary of Federal Grant Award

The Indiana Department of Health received a $9.53M Project Grant award from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant to the States (CFDA 93.994) for the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This Title V funding supports the state's comprehensive maternal and child health services infrastructure, including direct medical services such as care and education for pregnant women, infants, children, and adolescents, along with specialty medical services and primary care for children with special health care needs (CYSHCN). The grant enables delivery of enabling services including health education, family care coordination, medical home coordination, and transition-to-adulthood programs for CYSHCN.

Beyond direct clinical services, the funding supports population-based initiatives addressing sudden unexpected infant death prevention, childhood injury prevention, maternal and fetal infant mortality reduction, and the Indiana Moms Helpline. The award also finances infrastructure development activities including the Indiana Perinatal Quality Improvement Collaborative, data systems integration, policy and standards development, and quality assurance efforts for maternal and child health and children's special health care services grantees. These services prioritize vulnerable populations with limited healthcare access, particularly low-income mothers, infants, and children.
